He is a team player and is willing to step in if needed. This way he doesn’t have to go thru the off season BS, and it keeps him active and in shape instead of eating donuts all day. Backus was never an all-pro, but he was a very good left tackle. He will be willing to help the team if asked. He always enjoyed the games, just hated the off season work.

Is it just me or does he have this backwards.

He needs to gain weight about as much as Happy Gilmore needed to “get tough” in order to make the hockey team. (You’re workin on the wrong thing man)
